Page 34: Additional Features
Board Controller (cBC) The conga-TCA5 is equipped with a microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec BIOS features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode. -
Page 35: Fan Control
The conga-TCA5 is equipped with a multi stage watchdog solution that is triggered by software. The conga-TCA5 does not support external hardware triggering because the COM Express™ Specification does not provide support for external hardware triggering of the Watchdog. For more information, see the application note AN3_Watchdog.pdf on the congatec GmbH website at www.congatec.com. Note The conga-TCA5 module does not support the watchdog NMI mode. -

OEM POST Logo This feature allows system designers to replace the congatec POST logo displayed in the upper left corner of the screen during BIOS POST with their own BIOS POST logo. Use the congatec system utility CGUTIL 1.5.4 or later to replace/add the OEM POST logo. -
Page 37: Oem Bios Code/Data
OEM BIOS Code/Data With the congatec embedded BIOS it is possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. The congatec Embedded BIOS first calls the OEM code before handing over control to the OS loader. -
Page 38: Api Support (Cgos)
The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodified on all congatec CPU modules. All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software developers guide, which is available on the congatec website. -
